For tbs gladnesS wings the hour,

has now about $50. 900 acres of growing
forests, in which have been set 600. .OO0.-
900 young trees. Besides these there
have been planted over 1900. 900 fruit

On the Transcaspian railroad. il

$500 per mile is effected by the use of
mineral wax, or ozokerite, for ties.
When purified. melted and mixed with
limestone and gravel, the ozokerite.
which is abundant in the vicinity of the
railroad. produces a very good asphalt.
This is pressed into shape in boxes; and
gives ties which retain their form and
hardness even in the hottest weather.

Baptist Ladies' Society.

The ladies of the Baptist Mission and
Home Aid Society were very pleasantly
entertained by Mrs. Brooks on Tuesday.
The meeting was foreign mission ses-
sion. Articles were read by Mrs. Fuller,
Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Walker, Miss
Sarah Walker, Miss May Wilcox and
others. Several of the articles read were
descriptive of the life of the Hindoo
women as wives and widows. They are,
as most people know, married at a very
early age-often at the age of five years
and have to perform the most servile
labor and submit to the most degrading
abuse. But her life in this position is
pleasant in comparison to that which she
must endure if she unfortunately be-
comes widow. The burning of widows
upon the husbands funeral pyre has
been abolished by the queen of England,
but she is yet condemned to life of
such utter and abject misery that death
by fire is thousand times preferable.
Think Of this, Christian women, who
sit in your homes surrounded by comfort
and love, and yet almost Indifferent to
the fate of your miserable heather sis
ters. We are told that there are twenty
one million of these unfortunate widows
in India alone - twenty-one million
women whose lives are one long stretch
of,utter and hopeless degradation. How
thankful we as women ought to be that
we live in land where the teachi ngs of
the blessed bible have made women re-
spected and beloved.
The opening of the mission boxes re-
vealed quite little sum to be sent at
once upon its GRAND of love, and we hope
followed by the prayers of the donors.
The next meeting will be held at Mrs.
Williams's residence, Tuesday, Feb. 8.
The society will take up church aid
work for the next month. We would be
glad to see any of our lady friends there.

A heavy black smoke was seen to rise

cause was an over-heated kettle OF tar,

whole ablaze and spreading to the two
barrels which upheld the pole upon which
the kettle was swung. Mr.. Kessler and
son rushed into the flames and carried
out the kettle, while Miss Perlie hastily

the flames. As apile of fence posts ready
